Player Review
93 - TOTS
Fernandinho is an absolute beast. I pulled him in my guaranteed PL TOTS pack, and at first I was quite disappointed because I run a eredivisie/dutch team, but after I played a few games I realise how saucy he is. He plays in a midfield 2 in a 352 and as a CDM in a 4231 next to Frenkie de Jong (normal gold, waiting for the TOTS), and he is dominating the midfield. I prefer my midfielders to be agile and good on the ball, and he is perfect for me. His pace is good enough, his dribbling is exquisite, he is in the right place at the right time defensively and offensively, his physicals are great and his passing is pin point accurate. I have played against some quality CAMs in div rivals and I can tell you his pockets are full after every single game. Ivan Perisic Fut birthday, Hernan Crespo Prime, and Sonaldo TOTS were no problem. The only things I would say is that he is so busy in defense he lacks a bit in terms of supporting the attack, but makes up with it by intercepting incoming balls, and he struggles against high agility players, which could also be down to me. All in all worth every penny, and I can imagine that him next to a Kante or TOTS Allan would make a peng combination
